MN Lit Getogether, Spring 2003

[dizzylia]

Awww, you guys are making me blush.

Yeah, that's totally cood to leave the CDs in the room.

I bought some plastic cups and plates. There are about a dozen of each. I don't suppose someone could bring paper towels or napkins or something. I forgot.

Also, I couldn't find the football. *sniffles* I did find the nerf basketball looking thing, and I got a couple water-toy balls at the $ store. I suppose they soak up water or something. We'll see.

I can't wait to see you guys! I should be leaving in two hours. I hope to see you there!


-dizzy, who's getting much too excited and getting strange looks at work. You don't get excited about data entry, after all.

Re: The hotel

The hotel is the Ramada across the street from the Mall of America:

Ramada Inn Bloomington
2201 East 78th Street
Bloomington MN 55425 1228

Is this the right place ?

Ramada Inn Airport at the Mall of America
2500 East 79th Street
Bloomington, MN, 55425 US
952-854-1771

Is it at the ThunderBird????

That's the one... is that a bad thing? I've never been there. It just looked nice...


-dizz

So...uhmm...are these different? Or is it on the corner of 78th and 79th and just has two different addresses for the same place?

I'm guessing one is the address for the administration office, and the other is for the actual hotel. It is the Thunderbird Ramada, though. I double-checked.

 

[Tongueflicker]

Always good to know. Thanks, Dizz....
See you all there soon....

 

[dizzylia]

Here's the link for the hotel.

So. Same hotel. It's between I-494 and the MoA. You can't miss it. And dang, that lobby looks cool.

One hour left before I take off! *dances*

 

[lovinanalandy]

Have a great time everyone! It's still quite doubtful I'll be able to make it, but if anything changes I'll give KL a call. I expect a full report on the evening's activities. I'm especially curious about the chocolate finger paints! Someone should take a digi cam...

Have a drink for me, and I'll be thinking about ya'll!

 

[Salacious]

I never said what I was bringing...

Well in case we have a lull... I'm prepared with something my kids call... show and tell...or show and share...

hmmmm....

WOW! That could be just about anything~

and we'll see what else!

 

[dizzylia]

Yay!!!

I'm outta here! I'll see you guys soon!

 

[sjl_mn]

Have a great time everyone! It's still quite doubtful I'll be able to make it, but if

will bring camera if you all wish.

Re: SaD

ha ha Sad... i hope a few of you enjoy this meet up... I wouldn't be going.. .because i'm unwelcome...

Not to put too fine a point on it, TranceAngel, get over yourself. If you hadn't been such a whiny jerk (as I now see, from reviewing the parts of this thread that I skimmed), you'd have been plenty welcome. As it is, I suspect people will have a better time with you not going.

Kinda sad we can't make it, but them's the proverbial breaks.

the fri gathering

DIZZY AND KL!!

thanks again,
steve

as for the rest of the poeple i met tonight, i thought you all were super in your own ways.
hope i see you all again

 

[KeraniLuna]

Thank you to all 8 of you who made it to the getogether!!

Dizz and Chris, Sal, dr. bong, TF, lou, sjl, and levelhead, I appreciate all of your company, I had an awesome time. It was WAY too much fun swimming and hot tubbing.......oh, and getting wet and rubbing against TF

Thank you dizz for helping me get this one together......and to everyone who brought along the liquor and snacks.....as y'all know I've been a bit preoccupied, it really helped to have all of your support.

Oh, and speaking of support......thank you to everyone who has stood up for me, you guys are so sweet. And I had quite a laugh when I came home and saw all that went on since I left home for the day

To everyone that couldn't make it this time, I hope you can make it next time....I believe there is room on the calendar for one more before I leave for school in Boston. Not that you guys can't have getogethers while I'm gone, but I'll be planning one more before I leave, some time between Aug. 4 and 20.

OK, now that it's horribly late, I'll be going to bed.......thanks again for coming, guys!!

ha ha Sad... i hope a few of you enjoy this meet up... I wouldn't be going.. .because

trance,, can you believe it the gathering was a sounding success with you being there?
didnt say anything prior, but now i have met some of you, feel i can.

trance,, they should check id's at the door. your actions are that of a 5 year old, not that of one past 18.
had you attended, i am sure one of would have to had watch over you as you splashed in the kiddie pool with the rest of the 2-3 year olds.

KL went far to far out of her way to make it possible for you to attend. for you to slam her in these posts shows just how immature you are.

i would believe a written sincere apology to her posted on these pages would be far from god enough.

grow up kid!

BTW: glad i was unable to meet you

 

[Levelhead]

Thanks

Hi all. Kudos to Dizz and KL for organizing the get together. It was really fun meeting everyone. We picked a good night for swimming and the pizza was the perfect entre'. Great music Keri, it was fun listening and watching you and TF recite all the words to those incredibly wordy songs. Dizzy, enjoyed meeting your friend Chris, he's a fun guy...needs to go a little easy on the vodka, but he was on a mission to sedate himself and was quite successful...lol. I'm in for the next get together as long as it isnt one of the next two weekends (out of town). Thanks to Sal for giving me the courage to show up on such short notice and with some very limited information on what I might be getting into. Talk to you all soon; I'll be around.

P.S. Did I leave my yellow beach towel and suit in the room?

 

[louisville39]

levelhead

You ARE pretty levelheaded. Good to meet up with you and the rest of the gang. Kudos to KL and Dizz [The Party Planners]{kind of like "The Wedding Planner"}

Hope your towel and suit was there but I thought I saw you leave with the towel on top of your duffel bag. Maybe it fell off b/w room and car??

I won't be online much for several days as take my long-dreaded exams.

 

[Salacious]

Another Great LiTogether!

What a fun time! Dizz and KeraniLuna AWESOME job!!!

thanks for all your efforts and patience....a stretch at times... but feel great knowing it was a success!

Excellent conversations..**** flirtations...hot yummy pizza... nice white wine... swimming and tubbing... I have to confess I enjoyed the outdoor pool the most... next time lets try for a pool side room..

I enjoyed meeting the new people... sjl...levelhead, louisville, and Chris! and it should go without saying... but seeing the rest of you AGAIN...KL, dizz, TF, and Dr. Bong is always a treat.

THANK YOU!!!

 

[dizzylia]

Hey, guys. Thank you all who were able to show up last night. That was an absolute blast. Can we go swimming next time too? *grins

Chris also had a blast, so I also thank you for making him feel welcome in the group. That meant a lot to me.

-dizz

 

[dizzylia]

Oh, and no, there wasn't anything left in the hotel room aside from a bag of pretzels and the last cans of Coke. I didn't see any yellow towels or swimming trunks, sorry.

 

[KeraniLuna]

Can we go swimming next time too? *grins

Sounds good to me. Maybe we can go out to eat but then go swimming? Or someone said something about a BBQ, I think.....any other ideas?? I am going to be a bit preoccupied the next week or so, but will put all my energy into this next getogether after that

 

[Salacious]

I wish we were there now... damn it's hot!

 

[deepstar7]

Sorry I had to miss all the fun. I hope to make it to the next one. Swimming sounds like a great idea. sounds like you all had another great time.

I think it must have been a little nippy the last time you got out of the pool...not that I was looking....

 

[KeraniLuna]

*giggles*

Hope you guys had a lovely Saturday......I spent most of my day recovering (basically, being lazy, there wasn't much to recover from besides being tired), and also taking care of things I should have been doing last week

s to you all, have a wonderful Sunday

you may not have been, but I sure was

 

[dr.bong]

And once again to add to everyone else's voice what a great time I had

Ladies a wonderful event as always, I love the pools

And how wonderful it is to feel comfortable in a group

Although I alwasy do get curios as to what happens after I leave
